Notice of appeal must be filed, in writing, with the Treasurer of the
Board within 14 calendar days after the date of the notice to suspend.

If a suspension appeal is filed and a hearing is held, then notice of the
decision shall be sent by the Superintendent to the student's parent,
guardian or custodian, and the Treasurer of the Board. If the
suspension is upheld in any form, such written notice shall state that
the decision of the Superintendent may be further appealed to the
Board of Education by the student's parents, or guardian before
appealing to the Court of Common Pleas. The decision of the
Superintendent may also be directly appealed to the Court of Common
Pleas pursuant to Ohio law. The notice should further state that an
appeal to the Treasurer of the Board must be made in writing to the
Treasurer of the Board of Education within fourteen (14) days of
receiving the Superintendent's appeal decision.

B. Students subject to expulsion:

At times, the behavior of a student can be considered so serious
as to justify total removal from the educational program for a
prolonged period of time. Actions meriting expulsion are set
forth in the student code of conduct. The Superintendent may
expel a student. Expulsion is the removal of a student from
more than ten (10) days, but not more than one (1) year, unless
the expulsion is extended in accordance with Ohio law. An
expulsion can extend beyond the end of the school year if there
are fewer school days than expulsion days remaining. The
Superintendent may apply any remaining part or all of the
period of the expulsion to the following school year.

When a student is being considered for expulsion by the
Superintendent:

1. The Superintendent will give the student and the parent,
guardian, or custodian written notice of the intended
expulsion, including reasons for the intended expulsion.

2. The student and parent or representative have the
opportunity to appear before the Superintendent to
challenge the proposed action or to otherwise explain the
student’s actions. The written notice will state the time
and place to appear, which must not be earlier than three
(3) school days nor later than five (5) school days after the
notice is given, unless the Superintendent grants an
extension upon the request of the student or parent.

3. Within one (1) school day of the expulsion, the
Superintendent will notify the parents, guardians, or
custodians of the student and the Treasurer of the Board.
